The budget carries a tax rate increase of 37 percent, which would equal $60 more a year on a home assessed at $100,000 for town residents who live outside the village. Lysander Town Supervisor John Salisbury and town officials will take questions on the budget and the need for the tax increase.

The public hearing on the budget is at 7 p.m. at Lysander Town Hall, which is located at 8220 Loop Road, in Lysander.
